This amazing image of poverty, destitution and sheer misery certainly makes one cringe. Cringe for the people who had to live in such terrible conditions. Some of the worst were in Donegal but this is in the Kingdom of Kerry and shows that tough times affected people all over Ireland. This photograph was taken in 1887.

This photograph, taken in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester, UK, shows two boys, both aged 13 years. The one on the right was vaccinated in infancy, the other was not vaccinated. They were both infected with smallpox from the same source on the same day. Notice that while the one on the left is in the fully pustular stage, the one on the right has had only two spots, which have aborted and have already scabbed. 1/2
For all you Anti-Vaxxers out there.

These two images, also taken in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner, show two sisters, one 13 years old and the other 14 years old, showing the difference between being vaccinated at birth and not being vaccinated as a child. With the rise of anti-vaccination sentiment and tendencies today, we would do well to heed the lessons of these two sets of photographs. 2/2
